We didn't have to have it for an AOS. But we have all had chicken pox as children so just told the doctor that we have all had chicken pox and they ticked the appropriate boxes. You only need the vaccine if you have never had chicken pox. You are supposed to prove this fact also, but all you need is a letter from your UK GP saying that you have had it and that is enough. A lot cheaper than having to pay for a vaccine if it isn't necessary.

According to the paperwork, I needed to get the chicken pox jab as part of my GC application (via US embassy in Singapore) but the US Embassy approved doctors in Singapore wouldn't give it (huh?) - instead they gave me a letter saying it wasn't available for adults. The US embassy in Singapore got a bit shirty about it, but said it was down to the immigration officer when we landed!!! So, to avoid any potential problems, I tried to get it from the travel clinic in Amsterdam airport as we transited en route to Houston, but again just ended up with a "no can do" letter. Immigration officer couldn't give a toss - just told me to get it within 6 months.....I guess if he'd been a stickler it could have been awkward, but he was obviously in a good mood!

To tell the truth its worrying me.. have read back over some of the old threads about insurance..The company is not contributing to our medical costs and i really am concerned that the cost will cripple us. He is going to be on less wages in Florida than in UK but we love the lifestyle though.
Just so much to sort out..can anyone recommend a company that is competetive please..
Cheers!
